Lightning Vortex - Awesome

[Vio-Bear]

Want to make this??
EASY..

1. Start with a blank 500x500 blank document, transparent background

2. Hit D to reset your colors (black fg, white bg) and grab the gradient tool at these settings:


3. Go crazy and drag it all over the place a bunch of times until you have something like this... try to keep them small-ish.


4. Duplicate the layer twice

5. First layer- Filter> Distort> Twirl, 999

6. Second layer- Filter> Distort> Twirl, -999

7. Set the blending mode of the top layer to Multiply and merge the two twirled layers


8. Set the blending mode of that layer to Lighten and duplicate the layer

10. Go back to the layer you just copied, Filter> Blur> Radial Blur, 60, Zoom, Best

11. Set the blending mode of the top layer to Overlay


12. Link all three layers and merge them together

13. Ctrl+U to colorize, and you’re done!
